RETIRED. TO THEREGIMENT.

Never again in the saddle to wear the buff and
blue:
Never again i'll the saddle to march with the
troop IN review;
Never again TO hear with Joy the boom of the
morning gun
AS it sends its salutaion to the rising of the sun.
Dead are the hopes of lites morning,
The vigor of youth passed by;
oh, comrades it's harder retiring:
Better, tar better, to die,
Broken, worn out, and useless.
No longer to play in hfe's game;
IT'S hard yet alive, to be buried;
To me it means just the same.
Better TO have fallen in action
When the heart beat is strong ana nlgh;
oh, comrades it's harder retiring;
Better, far better to die.
Never again to follow on the savage enemy's
path,
Never again to meet the foe and face his hellish
wrath
Never again TO lead the troop with its laundering
hoofs behind,
With pistols out, and charging shout, and guidon
flying to wind
Dead to ali things of the future;
Only TO eat, sleep, and sigh;
oh, brothers it's harder retiring,
Better, far better, to die.
Never again on the prairie, to see the sunsets
glow,
Ger the sober brown of the heather, bloodlike
crimson throw;
Never again in the mountains, to see the lordly
pine,
Or the flashing CLEAN of the crystal stream.as IL
leaps and foams like wine.
Ny hope is beyond the sunset;
When the stream OF life runs dry;
Oh, comrades it's harder retiring;
Better, tar better. to die.

Dry Goods Packing Boxes
From the New York Mail and Express.
Z ] L Al

From the New York Mail and Express
Space i s 80 valuable to New York
merchants, and particularly those
engaged in the dry-goods trade, that
they prefer buying the packing boxes
In which they send Off their goods to
making them upon their own prem
Uses.
To manufacture a sufficient number
for their daily need would require
considerable room, and the rent for
such accommodations would more
than Offset the amount saved. There
fore they purchase them from men
who make the sale of such boxes q
speciality. Their places OF business
are to be seen in all quarters. Gen.
orally they choose some piece OF prop
erty which through litigation or other
causes has not been built upon, where
the rent is trivial and the lease of
short date, and buy up all the old
boxes they can lay hold Of. These
they patch up and sell at a consider
able advance. There are others in
the business, however, who are in the
true sense of the word, manufacturers.
Some of them conduct safe and
profitable business upon asmall scale,
while others launch thousands of
dollars in the enterprise. These lat
ter are mostly men residing in Michi-
gan, who buy lumber by the whole
sale. They have saw mills of their
own, in which they manufacture the
parts of box complete, according to
careful measurement. The different
portions are numbered and sent to
eastern shippers, who have only to
nail them together according to di-
rections to have a perfect packing
box. Such boxes can bel produced
at remarkably low prices, and the
dealers in this city cannot success
fully compete with their western
rivals. In fact, the business has
grown to such proportions in Michi-
gan that several firms have invested
thousands in forest lands in order to
procure timber at the lowest possible
cost

Old Farm Wagons.

A good, strong and always reliable
wagon is necessity to every farmer.
The loss by breakages and cost of re-
pairs or setting tires and the like on
many old wagons kept in use from
mistaken ideas of economy will pay
heavy interest ON new one. Unless
this is kept under shelter, however,
when not in use, it will soon become
dilapidated. A coat OF paint once q
year will not only make it look new,
but will keep it firm and solid for many
years. A shrewd wagon maker used
often to remark that it was not for
his interest to have neighboring farm
ers buy his wares. Those sold several
miles distant he did not regret; but he
kept a repair shop as well, and he
could make more from nearby farm
ers repairing their old wag than
from selling them new ones.

FARM AND HOME.
Morning.

stand upon the threshold of my life
And look about me with uncertain eye:
With all the world. and with myself at strife,
Where is my place? What can do? Icry.
At morn the robin sings his roundelay;
He knows no chilling doubt does nothing wrong
But works with happy gertrude all day,
And greets the night with cheerful song.
Each flower and shrub, and every spear of grass
ObeyS the impulse of an inward force,
And grows, to fill its mission, and to pass
From change to change in its determined course
The cloud that drifts throughout summers day
The breeze that bears it lazily along,
The dew-drop burning in the morning ray,
Have time and place in all the world s wide throng

Don't Rush" a Telegram.
From the Electrical Review.

From the Electrical Review
Never write Crush" across the face
Of q telegram. II you do you will re-
tard rather than accelerate it's dis
patch. Employees Of telegraph offices
pay no more attention to a message
with such an nscription on it than
postOtfice men do to letters marked

of like import.
81 always smile," said a retired op-
orator, "when / th ink of the way we
boys used to treat crush" messages
in the Western Union Office. Some
blooming jay would come in and want

its face, thinking that would help it
along. Now, the idea of such thing !,
Just as if everything wasn't rushed in
telegraph office, that is, if left to it.
self. The boys look upon anything
like that almost as personal affront.
What is the consequence? The re-
ceiving clerk takes the message, frowns
little when the rush comes to view,
receives the money, says all right,
and the sender walks out complacent-
ly. Then the clerk picks up the dis
patch again, looks it over slowly,
toys with it and smiles. Just here
two or three other persons come in,
and he lays aside the rush to wait
on them. Finally he takes up his lit
tie pile of messages, puts the rush at
the bottom and hands the batch over
to the record clerk. When the record
clerk comes to the rush message he
also smiles. AS it is the last on his
desk he plays with 1T for while,
practices penmanship on it (does the
Spencerian act, you know,) takes his
time in recording it, in fact, does ev-
erything but rush it.
"From the desk of the record clerk
the messages are given to the opera
tors by the file boy. He, too, has q
great antipathy for rush messages.
If all the operators are not at leisure
he supplies those who are from the
top OF the pile, and sticks the rest on
the hook. If there is rush in the
lot, it always goes on the hook.
The upshot of the whole matter is
that this precious piece OF paper, with
it's immensely important communica-
ton, which the sender wanted
rushed is about the last dispatch
sent out"

Years ago a pair of trousers and an
old coat filed with straw tied to a
stake and surmounted with ragged
hat, giving the figure the appearance
of a confirmed topper, seemed to have
the effect of frightening these expen-
sive friends OF the farmer from his
cornfelds, but late years they have
become more enlightened, and rather
seem to enjoy the fun of strutting
around such ''scarecrow" and pull
ing the corn blades directly beneath
it's shadow. Stringing the field with
Irvine served to keep them away for a
time, but they soon saw through this
trick. and stringing with Irvine is no
longer g. safeguard. Fortunately for
the farmer, however, the black rogues
have q sensitive palate, and by soak
ing the corn before planting in some
thing that is disagreeable to their
taste their ravages can be easily pre-
vented. Some use tar water for this
purpose, while others prefer g. solu-
ton of copperas. We have tried the
latter for years and never knew it to
fail. Place from two to four ounces
of copperas in an earthen bowl, snd
pour upon it a quart of hot water.
Stir it occasionally until it
dissolves. Put three or four
quarts of water into a large wooden
bucket. Add the dissolved copperas,
then pour in the she shelled corn and
let it soak over night. Have GUAM
tity ofdry, finely pulverized plaster,
and when the corn is taken out of the
copperas liquor, add enough of the
plaster to take up the moisture, and
stir it SO that each kernel will be coat
ed with the plaster. 1t can then be
dropped from the corn planter. One
who has never tried the experiment
may think that the kernels are so
black after remaining in the copperas
water for q few hours that they will
not terminate. Such fears are ground
less, however, and the cut worm is
much less likely to operate upon fields
when the seed corn is prepared as
above. AS soon as the blades appear
above ground the mischievous crows
will be on hand to help it along, but
after pulling up and testing a few hills
will leave it. in disgust. The blades of
corn, when soaked as above, will ap-
pear more vigorous and of q deeper
green when first coming through the

She Saw His Face.

A young woman of Denver was
married not long ago to a soldier sta
toned at Fort Union, N. M. After
the marriage he returned to his post
and she resumed her duties as a do.
nestle in Denver family. A few
nights ago she, while sitting in the
kitchen, was startled by several dis.
tinct raps upon the window. Look
ing up she saw the face OF her husband
peering at her. Running to the door,
opening it, and calling, she found no
one on the outside; and then she
tainted. The sequel is that she has
received a telegram stating that her
husband had died at Union just about
the hour when she saw his face at the
window
